The Bluestocking Society

Educating young adults about 18th century Bluestockings: a great way to spend an hour. Doing it while wearing blue stockings? A true Ms. Frizzle moment.
This dress is rendered work appropriate by a top-buttoned cardigan. It has a slightly cleavage-baring keyhole cutout at the front and another at the back, but the cardigan takes it from cocktail wear to classroom appropriate.

Dress: Tara Jarmon, Hill's of Kerrisdale
Tights: Joe Fresh, Real Canadian Superstore
Cardigan: Banana Republic
Brooch: Vintage, Etsy
Shoes: Kenneth Cole Reaction, Joneve South Grandville

  2. I don't think so! But maybe they are just too accustomed to my coloured tights...
